SIG SAUER BALLISTIC DATA XCHANGE 2.0 (BDX 2.0)
SIG SAUER’s Patent Pending BDX system takes the guesswork out of determining the proper range
and ballistics solution for hitting your target with the first round. Low Energy Bluetooth combined
with an embedded ballistic calculator (Applied Ballistics Ultralight) allows the user to configure up to
25, custom bullet profiles on the free BDX App and sync to your KILO. Line of sight range, elevation
and wind hold information is calculated instantly and displayed based on the active profile. When
combined with one of SIG SAUER’s BDX enabled riflescopes, the user ranges a target and the firing
solution is instantly shared with the BDX riflescope where the holdover dot is selectively illuminated.
BDX 2.0 has several new features for customers that want to get up and running without using
the BDX smartphone App. Your KILO has 8 embedded ballistic groups. The first 6 groups are for
centerfire rifles. Group 1 is the flattest shooting group with the least amount of drop. As the group
numbers increase, so does the bullet drop. Using the included Ballistic Groups card, locate your
caliber from the provided list. If your rounds are impacting low then move to a higher numbered
group. If your rounds are impacting high then move to a lower numbered group. Group 7 represents
common muzzleloaders and Group 8 represents an average crossbow. You can access these

9. 9
sigsauer.com
ballistic groups through the normal rangefinder configuration process by turning on the KILO and
holding down the MODE button to enter programming mode.
QuickBOND™ allows you to quickly bond your KILO to a SIERRA riflescope. On the SIERRA riflescope,
insert the batteries and turn on to illumination setting 1. Then turn on the KILO by pressing and
releasing the RANGE button. Press and hold down both the RANGE and MODE buttons for at least
three seconds while looking through the KILO at the display. Once the display in the rangefinder
reads “BOND” then “GOOD” your devices have been bonded (blue LED on the SIERRA should now be
solid blue). Your calculated ballistic hold for any of the 8 ballistic groups or for a custom gun profile
are now actively synced to your SIERRA riflescope.

10. 10
GENERAL OPERATION
Your rangefinder provides 4 modes of operation: AMR, LOS, ABU and Ballistic Group selection. When
ABU is selected the user can pair the KILO with a nearby smartphone where the BDX App should
already be installed. The user configures a bullet profile in the app, which is actively synced with
a paired rangefinder. For example, the user downloads and installs the BDX App, selects a 0.308
caliber bullet and chooses a Barnes LRXBT 200 gr bullet – this profile is selected and saved in real-
time. The user will then configure the muzzle velocity, zero range, temperature and altitude within
the BDX App.
For users that do not want to use the BDX App, 8 preconfigured ballistic groups are now included in
the KILO as well as the new QuickBOND feature.

MODES OF OPERATION - ANGLE MODIFED RANGE (AMR) AND LINE OF SIGHT (LOS)
Angle modified range is the equivalent horizontal range to the target and is comparable to the
“horizontal leg” of a triangle. AMR is also known as “rifleman’s rule” and uses the LOS range and
angle of incline to calculate the horizontal distance the projectile travels between shooter and
target. AMR is very accurate for shorter distances (i.e. < 400 yards) and archery.
Line of sight is the range to the target independent of angle. It is comparable to the “hypotenuse”
of a triangle. When ranging in LOS mode, the distance is displayed in addition to the angle of incline.
This method is preferred for those long range shooters and hunters wanting to use the LOS range
and angle of incline to calculate a very precise holdover using a ballistic calculator smartphone
application and/or wind measurement device.
For example, if the rangefinder is in LOS mode the line of sight range of 500 yards would be
displayed along with the angle of -30 (degrees decline). Use LOS in combination with a ballistic
calculator to calculate an exact holdover in minutes of angle or milliradians.
If the rangefinder is in AMR mode the angle modified range of 433.0 yards would be displayed. This is
the equivalent horizontal range and can be used in combination with a ballistic / holdover reticle or
with the SIG Ballistic Turret SBT™ dial.

Example:
LOS range of 500
yards at 30’ decline is
equivalent to an AMR

sigsauer.com
APPLIED BALLISTICS ULTRALIGHT (ABU)
Your rangefinder has an embedded ballistics solver developed by Sig Sauer, Applied Ballistics and
nVisti. By pairing your KILO with the free BDX App you can enter custom ballistics information for
up to 25 bullet profiles and sync one at a time to your KILO. The active ballistic profile is now saved
on your KILO, and when in ABU mode, will provide an accurate ballistic solution out to 800 yards
maximum. The LOS range and angle of incline will be displayed for 2 seconds, then the elevation
holdover value and finally the windage hold. This range and holdover information will continue to be
displayed for 30 seconds or longer depending upon the timeout setting in the BDX App.
Wind direction and wind speed can also be configured within the App. The smartphone will actively
sync all inputs with the KILO and the KILO can then be used without a smartphone. BDX provides
a firing solution out to a maximum of 800 yards. Custom drag curves are not provided within the
BDX App. For users that require more precision or will be shooting further than 800 yards, the
KILO2400ABS with Applied Ballistics Elite is the preferred solution. When in ABU mode, paired
and bonded with a BDX enabled sight the Bluetooth icon will be visible and will flash when a new
ballistic solution is calculated – which confirms your BDX enabled sight received the new holdover
information.

14. 14
Example: LOS range = 568.6 yards with 0.308 Barnes
Elevation adjustment = 18.19 MOA Up
Windage adjustment = 7.59 MOA Right
Line of Sight (LOS) range of 568.6 yards at 4 degrees incline

28. 28
HyperScan MODE
While the rangefinders support single button push ranging operation, it is highly recommended that
you push and hold the RANGE button down to activate HyperScan mode. This mode allows you to
scan targets at 4X/second which significantly improves ranging performance at extreme distances.
As the ranging distances are updated very quickly in HyperScan mode, once you release the RANGE
button the last acquired distance will be displayed. When in HyperScan mode ranging distant targets,
the display may update between no result and a distant range - by using RangeLock technology the
rangefinder will report the last range result when the RANGE button is released.
CHANGING MODES OF OPERATION
The rangefinder ships with the most common modes already configured. However, you can access
and change the following features:
• Line of Sight (LOS), Angle Modified Range (AMR) or Applied Ballistics Ultralight (ABU)
• BEST or LAST Target
• Units of Measure (Y or M)
• Ballistic Group Selection (Centerfire Groups 1 – 6, Muzzleloader Group 7 and Crossbow Group 8)
• Initiate QuickBOND (On or Off)

temperature and altitude by touching on the white numbers in each field and manually updating
these environmental conditions.

42. 42
MUZZLE VELOCITY (MV) CALIBRATION
The most important input for calculating accurate Applied Ballistics solutions is getting your
MV correct. You need to either chronograph your firearm or use the embedded MV Calibration
routine built into the BDX App. To use the MV Calibration routine make sure your scope is
zeroed (i.e. at 100 yards) and verify that the BDX App is showing zero holdover values at the
zero distance by ranging the target at the zero range and verifying the your holds are in fact zero
Use the MV Calibration routine at the
farthest distance you intend to shoot.
The greater the distance the more
accurate the MV calculation will be.
In this example the target was at 378
yards. Confirm your max target range.
Note – ABU only provides ballistic
solutions out to 800 yards maximum.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
Q: I can’t get the display to focus.
A: You need to adjust the diopter ring to your vision. Rotate the eyecup / diopter ring in either direction
until the display comes into sharp focus.
Q: I can’t seem to range very far past trees or animals.
A: Your KILO will perform differently based on changes in ambient conditions such as bright sunlight or
snow, rain or fog, temperature and the reflectivity of the target being ranged. For example, at dusk and
dawn your rangefinder may be able to range trees at over 1000 yards but in bright sunlight may only
achieve 500 yards. If your KILO will not range at least 400 yards under normal conditions (fog and rain
excluded) please contact customer service. Your product may have fallen out of alignment.
Q: I can’t get my KILO to pair with the BDX App on my smartphone.
A: Delete the BDX App from your smartphone. Download and reinstall on your phone. Make sure you have a fresh
battery in your KILO. Relaunch the App, turn on your KILO and repeat the Pairing instructions in this manual.
Q: I can’t locate the BDX App on the Apple or Android Stores.
A: Search for Sig Sauer or BDX at the store.

Q: My battery drains too fast.
A: Most rangefinders will provide over 4000 individual range calculations using a fresh CR2 primary lithium
battery. Your KILO exceeds this specification. When heavily using SCAN mode the battery may appear to
drain faster since your KILO is ranging 4x per second in HyperScan mode. This is normal operation but you
should keep a spare CR2 battery when heading out to remote locations.
Q: My ballistic solution in the HUD and displayed in the KILO is always off a few inches.
A: For accurate ballistic solutions make sure you have updated the temperature and altitude within the
App to your current location, you have the correct bullet caliber (diameter) and weight selected, your zero
distance is correct and that your muzzle velocity is correct. Using the MV Calibration routine provides the
most accurate MV and will improve the accuracy of the ballistic calculator. It is always best to use the MV
Calibration routine at the farthest distance you intend to shoot. Calibrating at 500 yards will yield a better
MV than calibrating at 200 yards.
Q: My blue LED on the power selector ring on the SIERRA3 will not turn on.
A: Look through our SIERRA3. You most likely have the Digital Ballistic Reticle turned on. Go into your BDX
App, select the SIGHTS page and turn the Ballistic Reticle OFF.
